AccountDeleted Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Imagine if that was a 15kg bengal domestic and the pitbull was only 6 months old, the bengal would rip it apart. Yeah I felt sorry for the poor cat at first because it was two against one but it did alright with that light sabre! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tab'le De'Bah-Rye Posted September 25, 2013 Author Share Posted September 25, 2013 In most dog/cat conflicts I find the cat usually wins. Dogs noses are very sensitive and the cat knows this instinctively i assume and gives it a good whack which frightens the dog i think, that's why we have always whacked puppies on the nose(not to hard though) with a rolled up newspaper, i say we because i assume that's how most train there puppies, perhaps i'm wrong and it's only a few or something.

I'm pretty sure the rolled up newspaper trend went the way of beating children. There are alot more humane ways to train dogs. Plus, who has a newspaper anymore.

I use a clicker, an static collar and an e-z halter. My shelter dog still has some licking issues, but she's a sweetheart. I couldn't imagine whacking her on the nose.

That's because it's an Australian Shepard, they're not guard dogs they are hearing dogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue healers (australian shepard) are traditionally cattle cross guard dogs. They have very strong bone structure and can take a stomping from the cattle.

My dog was never abused or neglected. She was a well-loved puppy who was given to the shelter due to the economy (with plenty of tears) who lived in a shelter (and became a bit untrained and unruly) during her 2 year stint. But she was not abused, and most shelter dogs today are well-loved economic surrenders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
